Any Advice For Some One Who Is Struggling?

Don't waste your time trying to find a magical solution in 40 days. Since you couldn't find a solution in two years, you won't find it in a few days.

Everything takes time. Even if you will find a perfect money-making method, you have to deal with the competition, and you have to be trusted until you will manage to sell your products or services.

Instead of trying to achieve the impossible in 40 days, look for a job, study internet marketing in this forum, and build your business with time.

A lot of it is a mental game, It's good to balance work with things like walking, yoga, time with family. Pace yourself, personally I found things paid off after an accumulation effect. A lot give up ..but even a little every day will over time build something big.

Well by now I'm sure you have a skill.

After 2 years I had skills and didn't know which I am best at.

You need to sell something to make money. It's that simple.

So using your best skills you have... what product could you create and sell?

Graphic design?
Web design?
SEO?
Info product?

It's all about having something to sell - it gets easier from there on in.

Don't exhaust your resources on that CB site, buying a generic template then concentrating on getting the sales copy right might do for getting something for initially testing the market for your product.

If you continue to have issues getting the site made, you might check the answers someone else got:

I understand bigger players do their own test campaigns using paid advertising like an affiliate would just to test he market and collect conversion rate stats they can show affiliates.

Some would probably invest some money on raising the gravity quickly.

Hypothetically speaking, had you started on the time intensive stuff from day one where would you now be two years later?

I have said this before and I will say it again.
The internet is about something that is different, unique, cost worthy, and what people will purchase.
If you come up with a product, it needs to be something that won't go on amazon or ebay by your competition otherwise you'll get killed on the price.
Only way to do that is to create, manufacture and sell it your self.

As for content, that can be copied.

Unless you know code to build a meaningful website, forget about it.

The nine to five looks good until you can figure something out.

Good luck.

I’m surprised out of the list of things you’ve tried, you didn’t do much with Affiliate Marketing.

If I were in your position, I would find a reputable product that has a good payout, solid conversions and isn’t sautéed.

Once you do that, then I would hit Facebook Ads hard. Currently, it’s very cheap so you will git a big bang for your buck.

And for $1,000/month - if you find a product that even offers a recurring commission, you don’t even need that many sales to blow past your goal.

Most importantly, Focus Focus Focus! Stop bouncing around on so many different projects. Just pick one and focus on it.

That’s what I would do.

Good Luck!

i am in the same boat....if you are good at ranking sniper sites....build and sell them oln flippa after they rank.
i just my site after it ranked with very few sales for $1400.
first money made.....
never give up.....man.....there is a key to this puzzle.....it is not in a wso ....i think all the info on this forum are bits and pieces and once they all come together...you will make consistent money

If you haven't started building an email list ( GET ON IT ) This is where I started to make my first money online LISTBUILDING – There thousands of ways to make money online and MOST of them DO involve email lists – but the trick is to build a relationship with these people and remember their not just numbers. A good way to do this is through SOLO ADS and swaps – a good company to to this is safe-swaps just search it on google

There is no such thing as a quick fix my friend and I suggest you don't waste your time trying to find one.

If the 40 day deadline is immoval, my advice would be to find an alternative source of income e.g. job while learning more on IM from the masters - and then devote your time to building a proper business in due course.

Your writing is decent, can you write articles? If you really need consistent earnings, just do some freelance writing. Post an ad here and charge $0.02 per word or something. Could make $1000 easy.

When it comes to building an online (or offline) business, most people focus on the product, and keep looking for new products they can push. The fact is that there are a million products out there, but who do you push it to?

Product is not the problem. The problem is your list/following or lack of it. You need to brand yourself.

Step One: Find your niche or subject. Something that enthuses you.

Step Two: Create a blog under your own name. Get good content on your subject and post something helpful, or funny, preferably both every day.

Step: Three. Look for other people's blogs in the same subject and post on their sites - regularly. Cross link back to your blog if you can.

Step Four: Create a Facebook Group and look for other FB sites on the subject which you can contribute to. And contribute something everyday. Indeed spend at least two hours everyday doing this.

The quickest way of building a list is to do a Joint Venture with someone else. For this you will need two products of your own.

Product #1 is something inexpensive but good. An eBook (your own) is perfect. Get some bonuses to add to the value. Add an audio-book upsell at the point of sale.

Product #2 is pricier. An online course, delivered as a pdf or even as email text. This can be in three, six, nine or twelve parts, delivered weekly or monthly. You don't have to write all the parts. Write three, then work hard to write part 4 before it's needed. Then part five and so on.

Use autoresponders to push the course.

This system will allow affiliates to push your work. Even if you give the affiliates 100% commission - you will create a big list quickly. Then you can become an affiliate using the same list.

Now you'll start earning good money.

Try hosting a webinar with your product, Coach Comeback will teach you how to do this and you will go pass your goal. I don't have his link but you can do a search on the forum and find him easily, he is honest and very helpful.

There are lots if different ways to make money in IM.

You should always be focusing on 2 areas:

1) immediate cash opportunities - jobs, freelance, offline marketing,etc

2) long-term businesses - affiliate marketing, list building, kindle publishing, etc.

Too many people fall into the trap of ONLY focusing on long term businesses even though they're not meeting their basic needs by lacking any cash flow.

Every day work on 2 models...one that will bring in the cash and one that will build your business. Doing so will require some sacrifice of your time but you will thank yourself later on by doing so....I promise!

I think if things are really desperate, you need to go ahead and bite the bullet and find a 9-5 job first. have that solid, and then you know needs are met. Then get your product up and running. I have read a lot of the studies about people getting an internet business up and running quickly, but they are usually people who have built he experience, then they are showing how to do it from scratch.

Your path is not unlike most other online entrepreneurs who learn and try about everything they come across based on the promises of (and sometimes reality based) success of others.

Based on several years of operating and growing online businesses here are some suggestions I hope help you...

1. Some of my biggest successes have come when my back was against the wall, it often takes this kind of pressure to bring out the best in us. That's a good thing. On the other hand, desperation sometimes leads to bad judgement, so lining up something part-time that at least helps hold off the bill collector a few months longer is not a bad idea - and you can still work on really getting your business rolling

2. Before you sell any CB product (your own or anyone else's) you want to test both your product (niche and title) as well as your messaging (as this will be key to your sales site's success). What I have done in the past is put together a report, email course or video (video can be quicker) that you put behind an opt-in page and then split test to help you refine what connects best with your audience. This accomplishes several things not the least of which gives you a captive, highly targeted audience to launch your ebook to and also gives you invaluable insight into which title/headline combo's work the best AND gives you the start of a list that you can leverage with partners who you bring on to help promote your product

3. Put your site together with Wordpress and a theme - you can go with Woo Themes or OptimizePress and get very professional looking pages for a couple hundred bucks - then it becomes a matter of the copy - which is what matters most

4. Is your product finished? Go find some top list and blog owners in your niche and give them a review copy - ask them for their feedback which you can then incorporate into this (or later) versions of your product AND for those that like it the way it is, you can ask them to promote it for you as affiliates using the CB platform.

Aim to launch your business in 3-4 weeks which should be possible if you get to work on the items above...you may not test to the extent you would like, but you should be able to get enough feedback to help turn your launch into a success...all of this assumes your CB product is well targeted and mostly put together. If not, it's going to take a little longer.

You have some really good advice, I would say evaluate the options that have been presented here, pick the one that makes the most sense to you and dedicate yourself to it.

.... But got to stop bouncing around from method to method, you are doing what a desperate person would, just throwing a bunch of darts hoping one hits the target, problem is when you throw them all at once you normally end up hitting nothing at all.

You have seen success before, think back to what you did to achieve this and duplicate that, do it better than you did before.

$1,000 a month with a month to get there is definitely achievable, but you need to get on it soon.

Good Luck, just tell yourself you are going to do it, do everything you can to make it happen and don't disappoint yourself.

PS. I am hoping your CB product is not in the make money online niche...

I think for a lot of people in the IM biz, they usually start by providing services first (like web design or article writing, and in the old days, link building via blog comments). As some warriors said, you may have developed some skill during that time you ventured into IM. I suggest you provide some services first... and from there get a pulse of what type of service your clients need. For instance, you may want to offer services today and do everything yourself, and if you gain some traction, start outsourcing some of the work so won't be sacrificing your time for money. : )

Now you have lots of advice, you got to make your choice and stick with it.

What really determines whether any preferred method will work for you is how much you convince yourself that whatever you have chosen is the best way to achieve your goals out of all the options you had.

Unless you totally convince yourself, you will turn around at the first time of trouble (read results not as quick as you would have liked) and you will wonder if you left a better option on the table...once you do that, you are back to square one.

In a nutshell, make a choice then make that choice the best choice ever in your mind. Stick to it and do whatever you have to do to make it work. All the best.

Wow Snowcloud, you have found too many ways that doesn't work,

My advice to you is that stop working on too many things at a time and put your efforts on on Plan. I suggest you to create your own site, bring traffic and start building a list from today, in affiliate marketing building a list is very important.
Pick any desired product from any affiliate network you are comfortable with and do your best to sell them.

If you have not 'made it' after this amount of time then you need to be realistic and get that 9 to 5 job sorted as soon as possible.

Most posters here would do well doing the same.

If your clickbank product is about IM, then considering launching it as WSO first. You can make $1000 or more in an hour if your offer is good and if you have good JVs.

If you find list building did not work, then you are doing something wrong. Did you build a relationship with your list?

Get a job. Then come back to this forum. You can't succeed if your daily 'human' needs are not met. Sufficiency first. Maslow's hierarchy of needs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks to everyone for these helpful replies. I have started moving onto building a list in the IM niche. I hadn't really found a desire to promote IM products until just recently I found one that I really like.

P.S. My Clickbank product is not in the IM niche btw.. Its about hair care

Then Watch this video interview:


(no promotion - just pure useful content)

The best thing to do is to make a decision on what method your going to use then make it work. If you have 40 days then yo need to work on the one method everyday because consistency is key when making money online. Consistency builds momentum and momentum can make big changes when used correctly. Shoot for the stars!

• Narrow your focus.
• Cut the fat (dead-end projects).
• Find a biz partner, and/or
• Find a mentor (ie business coach)

Well done for experimenting with a bunch of methods. As you are finding out, most "IM methods" don't work in practice as described, even if you've paid for them! This is just a fact, accept it, learn whatever you can from each (even if it's what not to do again!) and eventually the little bits of knowledge and understanding from lots of different methods, will give you enough to make something work.

As for making your own website, the technical details are not the challenge, they are easy enough to learn, or pay very little to outsource. The main challenge is design . . . if your website looks cheap, potential buyers won't trust you and you won't make sales. So you need to have enough understanding of aesthetics and enough ability with graphic design, to make something which looks professional, or you need to pay someone else to do it.

I outsource work mainly on oDesk, as "fixed price" jobs. That way, if things are not done right, or things are not done on time, I DO NOT PAY, simple as that. Most larger jobs can be broken down into smaller stages, so you can define the job as being done within an exact time, only accept workers who will agree to that, and only pay them if they do what they said. Website design should not take many hours.

Another option is to go with WordPress for your website, that way you have instant access to thousands of FREE (and many very cheap) designs which you can instantly install as Themes. WordPress is easy to install, configure and use (if it is too much of a challenge, anyone who knows what they are doing can get it all done in an hour), and with a little thought, can work perfectly well for static (unchanging) sites, even though it was designed for blogs. For example, for a static site, I often put a fixed Index Page as the home-page, which is easy to do (assign it in "settings").

Hope that helps

The truth of the matter is more then likely you are not going to be making 1k a month within 40 days unless you are already starting to earn online.

What most people fail to realize is that creating a product/or promoting a product is not what makes you money...

is it PEOPLE!

To make money, you first need to find a profitable market where people are already spending money in. For example this can be health.

Next you need to find a solution to one of their major problems -- then simply give it to them. Instead of wasting time on a product, in the mean time you can promote another one.

Now the challenging part is now getting your product and message out in front as many people as possible (generating traffic.)

This alone is what takes time unless you have money to spend, and know how to do CPA marketing well.

So if I were you, start generating traffic and collecting a list of people who you believe would be interested in your market and benefit from your future product.

Give them massive value and that can really help them. Then suggest to them -- if they enjoyed your free training, they might be interested in your product which can help them more.

Hope this helps you out

To create some stability to you need to promote something with a recurring income..ie, some type of membership products. Focus on just one thing at a time and give it more than a few weeks. To your success!

Focus on one thing... I'd rather advice you to start a WSO... I have couple of great ideas that I can assist you with. If you are interested PM me...

Was going to write out a response, but decided to just shoot a quick video instead.

Lousy iphone editing job, but whatever. These are just my thoughts, take them or leave them. If anybody else would like to chime in feel free.

You have a plethora of information to scour through, but remember one thing - take action. All too often, people will dabble in one area of marketing and quit within 3 weeks. While there may be success stories of people making a quick buck overnight, it will likely not happen to you. If it does happen, you will have earned it through your hard work and dedication.

If you need money that fast, jump on elance, odesk,guru, freelancer and fiverr to market yourself. Utilizing all of them to their full potential, you will be able to make money. However, you will have to be diligent and work hard until you get a steady flow of clients.

Hi,
It sounds like the one thing you haven't tried is getting a mentor or a coach. It's the best money you'll ever spend. They will keep you focused and if you are willing to work hard and do what they tell you to do, you could be making money within a couple of months.

Good luck with what you decide.

Go get a job. Then work on IM as a sideline until you start earning enough so that you can quit your job.

Yeah get a job build up your cash. Focus on one way to make money online and not a few million. Listen something the gurus won't tell you is that building an internet business like any other business takes HARD WORK!!!!! LOTS OF IT.

Pick something and stick with it. Don't expect money without busting your butt to get it!

Buy gold, silver, and invest in real estate. That is the best advice I can give. lol.
